We check the MP3 player's instructions, how easy the players are to set up, play music and video and rip and transfer music and video files with the software provided or, if none is supplied, using Windows Media Player (or iTunes with Apple products). We evaluate how easy each player is to navigate and its basic functions, and how much sound leakage there is from the devices.

Our members want to see both local and online available models, because buying online has become relatively popular. We've started to list the results we have for products that are available to order online to cater for this.
